An information technology company with offices around the world will be leasing space at Harrisburg University.

Computer Aid Inc. has entered into a contract with Highmark to manage its information technology
revitalization project for its subsidiary United Concordia Dental.

The company plans to invest nearly $1.3 million in the project
including fitting out the building space to accommodate new computer
systems, new offices and conference rooms. The Department of
Community and Economic Development is offering a $225,000 grant to support the project.

“My administration is proud to
partner with Computer Aid to provide high-paying jobs to our citizens
and real-world experience for our students right here in our capital
city,” Gov. Tom Corbett said in a statement.

The Governor's office says that the new company will create 50 new high-paying jobs. The company will also be using part-time college
students to fill some project roles.

Computer Aid is an information technology services firm headquartered in Allentown that has offices in several countries and more than 25 offices in the United States including five in Pennsylvania and one in Swatara Twp.
